- Description
- Foursquare's 2012 pot and column still blend from Barbados spent 8 years maturing locally before a secondary 18-month finishing in Port casks in New York State, creating a rich hybrid character. Expect layers of dried fruit, cocoa, and caramel with the wine-soaked depth that Port finishing brings, balanced against the distillery's signature funk and molasses weight. The texture is full-bodied and warming, with a lingering sweetness that frames subtle oak tannins. A sophisticated rum for sipping neat or in a contemplative cocktail.
